Producer-director Bert I. Gordon died March 8 at the age of 100.

Known as "Mr. B.I.G.", he wrote and/or directed many famous (and infamous) low-budget horror and sci-films, primarily in the 1950's and 1960's, though his career actually spanned over five decades. Films like The Amazing Colossal Man, War of the Colossal Beast, Earth vs. the Spider, Tormented, The Magic Sword, Village of the Giants and a whole lot of others.

If you are of a certain age, you probably saw a number of his films on TV, even if you didn't recognize his name.

I believe I was the only one who picked him.

R.I.P. Mr. B.I.G.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
